The second one is right: You'll need to join the ubuntu-universe-contributors
group. After that it's best to ping s.o. on #ubuntu-motu to have REVU update
its keyring from the LP group (this used to be run in a cron script, not
exactly sure if it is nowadays).

No. You'll need to sign your source package with your GPG key, and REVU will
use that signature to check, if the source package will get accepted or
rejected.
To sign your package, you can for example use
debsign <changes-file>
or rely on the defaults of dpkg-buildpackage (which should also sign the
source pacakge).
Cheers,
Stefan.
